I'm running it too! The only things I couldn't find were a good xkill for it (there's one for the 4.31 series Pups but not the 4.21 ones), and the Karamba themes package; the link seems to have disappeared._________________Stone Pentium IV (2.4 GHz), 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive running Puppy Slacko 5.7, Puppy 4.20 Turbo and Puppy Precise 5.71 Retro.

Here is my story:
I ask my friends to not throw their old computers to the garbage, and to give them to me instead. I restore those old computers, and give them to people who don't want to invest money in computers, and use these computers for simple tasks like: a little internet browsing, some word and excel documents, some pictures or movies watching. So, no heavy load on them.

The latest experince, who made me discover LEGACY OS is this one:
Somebody gived me an old computer having the following hardware:

Motherboard: PCCHIPS M852 Rev 1.0 (www.pcchipsusa.com)

Processor: AMD SEMPRON 2600+; 1833 MHz

Video Card: GEFORCE FX5200; 128 Mb RAM

RAM Memory: 768 Mb

Before discovering LEGACY OS 4.0 Mini, I have tried a dozen or more light Linux distributions on that system, no one worked normally on that desktop.

Some of them didn't even boot on live DVD (Bodhi, Anti X for example).

Others were running, but with “problems”.
The most important problem was that, even if installed on HDD drive, and Adobe Flash Player installed, the youtube video clips did not shown at all. Instead of the video clip, only a black rectangle appeared. No sound, no image, nothing.

A little better performed Puppy 5.4 and MacPup 529.
Those two distributions showed the youtube videoclip with image and sound.... but:
Puppy 5.4 had an issue: the start menu was there, it opened, but the text of the buttons was missing. Only empty buttons. This happened both on Live CD session, and on HDD installed session.
MacPup 529 was performing even a little better, the only issue of MacPup was that, on youtube, the comments below the video clip were shown incorrectly, only 2-3 of them were visible, and the same issue for the SEARCH results (on youtube), only the first 2 or 3 results were visible in the correct manner.

After all those unfortunate attempts, I have tried LEGACY OS 4 Mini and.....
EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE!

Even more, the experience with this OS is an excellent one!

It took me three days to make this old desktop to run!

So, yes, I will use Legacy OS, I will install it on computers, and I will try to recommend it to other people.

I also had a problem with X Org breaking and xorgwizard not working as a fix for it (it kept dumping me back at the prompt). It's not just Legacy OS4 Mini that has this problem in my experience; a lot of pre-5 series Pups do._________________Stone Pentium IV (2.4 GHz), 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive running Puppy Slacko 5.7, Puppy 4.20 Turbo and Puppy Precise 5.71 Retro.

I am downloading now Legacy OS 2.1 Gamer, and I will try it on one old desktop.

About the detail in the description that I read about Legacy OS 2.1 Gamer about:

"As Legacy OS is a free download all you have to lose is one blank CD"

Well.... I personally have a collection of 21 rewritable DVD's and CD's.

I use them especially for testing various Linux distributions.

I also have few of them written with PartedMagic or Grub Repair...

So, if someone really want to try Linux distributions to see if they worth or not, and do not want to spend not even a blank DVD, they can buy two or three rewritable DVD's and CD's, so they don't loose anything by trying ...

Sources : only one find something (books collection). I think that i must modify pathes.
I am using Legacy OS mounted on Racy 5.3 to make wireless connection available. That is OK. And of some interest !

Had a chance to dl the latest LOS4mini and the LOS2.1gamer versions recently to usb and I have high hopes for both as the main OS for an old samsung netbook that was recently given to me. i plan to remove the preinstalled windows system with either of these puppies (or both) and give it to my daughter for school and general web browsing. Both ran smooth and snappy on my trusty T40 so far without one complaint. I love the included retro games and conky is always nice eye-candy. I hope the results are the same on the samsung netbook. Keep up the great work on Legacy. Cheers.Edited_time_total

Two more problems with Legacy 2.1 unfortunately. I'm still finding it hard to get Flash working in the browser; I prefer either Legacy OS2 or Teenpup 2008 (which I'm using now) if I want to hear music videos. The last couple of times I tried it, it wouldn't play videos in Opera at all (unlike OS2, which does play them).

Also, is there a reason why I can use Mozilla browsers in some of the earlier Teenpups. but not in Legacy OS2 or 2.1, when they're both based on Puppy 2.14? Both Firefox and Seamonkey segfault in Legacy OS2 and OS 2.1 whenever I've tried to use them.

I shouldn't really complain at all since it's great that I'm still able to use a thirteen year old computer in 2014, and either Teenpup or Legacy OS2 is sufficient to do pretty much everything I want._________________Stone Pentium IV (2.4 GHz), 2 GB of RAM, 160 GB hard drive running Puppy Slacko 5.7, Puppy 4.20 Turbo and Puppy Precise 5.71 Retro.
